East Chop Charter

East Chop Charter Co is a small charter fishing and sunset cruise business based in Oak Bluffs, serving the waters of Vineyard Sound. The company offers outings for visitors seeking coastal scenery, fishing, or a customized day on the water. Sunset cruises travel along East Chop’s coastline aboard a 21-foot Steiger Craft, with complimentary snacks and beverages and guides sharing information about local history and landmarks.

Fishing trips accommodate both experienced anglers and first-time fishers. Depending on conditions and preferences, guests can pursue bonito and albies, drift for flounder and sea bass, or troll for striped bass and bluefish. Tuna trips may be arranged through affiliates. Captains can also tailor trips for sightseeing, beach stops, meals, or watersports such as wakeboarding and tubing.

The boat is a stable, open-deck commercial-fishing vessel with seating, coolers, and a quiet Honda engine. Captain Will Reich brings boating experience, fishing knowledge, and a background in shellfish enforcement, propagation, and emergency services.
